Newbee, I think my post is clear if you read it. I hope your comments don't dissuade others from posting. This is definitely not an assignment; it's a forum for those who enjoy sharing and discovering great classical music recordings with other au... 
Clarinet concertos anyone?
I love the chamber music of Francis Poulenc which often features clarinet (as well as bassoon, oboe) very prominently.Hyperion CDA67255/6The 2nd half of the first disc (tracks 7-13) are some of my favorite classical recordings period. I just liste... 
Tube preamp suggestions.
I'll have to edit my postings more carefully next time! I do not want colorations or distortion. I really enjoy clarity and timbral accuracy. My apologies if I was unclear in original post. I am definitely very intrigued by what I've read about th... 
Tube preamp suggestions.
Thanks for all of your suggestions. I failed to mention before that my max budget for a tube pre is around 5k. I don't want to spend that much if possible but would like to avoid buying something as a pacifier then getting the urge to resell a yea... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
2 days ago I received the SR Accelerator speaker cable from the Cable Company. I am delighted with the sparkle, liveliness, and clarity of the sound. I do notice a pronounced "ticky ticky" sound in the upper treble on high-hats which ,to me, does ...

Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
To choose 1 male singer as the best across all genres from the whole century is difficult. I really enjoy Joe Williams and Mel Torme for Jazz and Roberto Goyenetche for Tango. Frank Sinatra's album "September Of My Years" (on vinyl) get's me every... 
Ways to clean up the wall power for SET amp?
I just added an Isoclean wall outlet to replace the standard outlet. I was _very_ skeptical about spending $180 on an outlet, but the improvement was undeniable. The sound immediately became clearer, heftier, and generally more refined with an imp...

Audio Physic with Solid State Amp
I own Audio Physic 3i and run them through solid state Edge Electronics G1 preamp and G4 amplifier with a Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD player. The sound is fantastic, but please keep the following in mind: Audio Physic speakers are like that kitten... 
Spanish Guitar
The late Narciso Yepes is perhaps my favorite guitarist- Spanish or otherwse. With each of his recording there is the sense of a madman and master at one with his instrument. I recently purchased the 5 CD set called "Guitarra espagnola" used from ...
